What legal protections do revenge porn victims have at work in the US?

Questions raised after TV weatherman Erick Adame's firing, but remedies exist for revenge porn victims, say lawyers

Stories about employees who lose their jobs after sexual pictures of them come to light are tabloid favorites. In the last few weeks, we've heard about a tri-state area nurse and an Indiana schoolteacher who were fired by employers after their OnlyFans accounts came to light.

It's an even bigger story when it happens to a public personality, like Erick Adame, a New York City weatherman who was sacked last week by Spectrum News after an unknown viewer sent Adame's secret adult livestream to his boss and his mom. Adame has apologized for what he called a lapse in judgment", but has also enjoyed an outpouring of support from fans, some of whom have supported a petition to reinstate Adame, arguing that no employer should punish employees for their private and consensual sex lives.
